Happy Father’s Day to all the adventure dads out there!

There has been a recent surge in popularity of men’s social groups, especially those that involve activities like hiking and sport. I love seeing this movement towards improving men’s social lives and overall mental health, and I always welcome men onto the trail with us to experience all the benefits of adventure

When you guys get out on the trail, you’re setting an inspiring example for your kids, so remember that the benefits extend far beyond making you feel better

What a day at Four Brothers 😂

We started in what was meant to be showers and instead got sunshine, a light breeze and a beautiful walk through the forest. We were all congratulating ourselves on dodging the bad weather.

Then came the hill.

Climb, climb, climb… puff, puff, sweat 😅

We reached the granite boulders, sat down for lunch and took in the views. Perfect.

And then the sky changed.

Rain jackets on… and within minutes we were hit with a wild hailstorm, thunder and lightning.

Definitely not in the forecast.

We stayed off the smaller tracks, moved onto the main road and worked our way safely back. It was probably only 10–15 minutes of absolute chaos, but it became the part we’ll all remember.

Soaked, laughing, looking like drowned rats — and then suddenly the sun was back out.

That’s adventure.

We can spend so much time worrying:
What if it rains?
What if I’m not fit enough?
What if it’s hard?

But sometimes the bits that don’t go to plan make the best memories.

Of course we manage risk and make sensible decisions, but if we avoid every chance of discomfort, what are we missing out on?

Sometimes you just have to turn up. ❤️

If there’s one thing I know after 10+ years of leading hikes, it’s that you’re not going to feel motivated for every single hike, and that’s okay

The other thing I know is that choosing to go anyway, despite the lack of motivation or the weather or whatever other reason you can find, is the best way to help yourself feel better

Loving our Four Brothers Rocks Walk today with these awesome people, when are you joining us on the trail next?

I know it can be scary to book into an adventure or retreat on your own, but just listen to the chatter of the people on our Daylesford Wellness Retreat last weekend!

Most of our community book in solo and end up with friends they feel they've known for ages, so don't let that fear hold you back - you're exactly who needs a weekend like this

Our next Daylesford Wellness Retreat is coming up on 23-25 October so secure your spot today!

I think we've become addicted to comfort

Most of us avoid things that make us uncomfortable, like a difficult conversation, tough decision or an adventure that pushes our boundaries. But does this build our confidence or keep us stagnant?

I think that CHALLENGE is what helps us truly grow. Every time you do something that challenges you, you build the belief that you can do it next time, whatever that next challenge is. That’s how to develop real resilience

What’s the next challenge you’re going to tackle (even if it feels uncomfortable?)
